Situation - The property is situated on Watergate Street, within comfortable walking distance of Ellesmere town centre. Ellesmere is a popular North Shropshire market town offering a good range of independent shops, cafés, public houses, schools, medical facilities and everyday services.

The town is surrounded by attractive countryside and is particularly well known for its meres, including The Mere, as well as nearby stretches of the Shropshire Union Canal. Road connections provide access towards Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Whitchurch, Wrexham and Chester.

Directions - From our Ellesmere office, proceed north along Cross Street until reaching a roundabout, here take the third exit onto the A495 and continue for around 0.1 miles, take a right turn onto Watergate Street where, around 200ft later, the property will be situated on the Right and identified by a Halls "For Sale" board.

The Property - The front door opens directly into a generous living room, which provides an inviting principal reception space with a sash-style window to the front elevation and a recessed fireplace forming a natural focal point. The room offers ample space for both sitting and occasional dining furniture, whilst an opening to the rear creates an easy flow into the adjoining kitchen/breakfast room.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of matching wall and base units with work surfaces over, incorporating an inset sink and space for a range of appliances. There is sufficient room for a breakfast or dining table, whilst a rear-facing window and external door provide good natural light and direct access to the courtyard. The staircase rises from this part of the house to the first-floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is particularly well proportioned and benefits from a front-facing sash-style window. The second bedroom is positioned to the rear and would suit use as a guest bedroom, child’s room or home office. The accommodation is completed by a bathroom fitted with a modern white suite including bath with shower over, wash basin and WC.

Outside - To the rear of the property is a compact enclosed courtyard, offering a practical and low-maintenance outside space. The courtyard provides sufficient room for a small table and chairs and is well suited to outdoor dining or simply sitting out during the warmer months.

A pedestrian gate leads from the courtyard towards the rear access, where the property benefits from off-road driveway parking. This is an especially useful feature for a centrally positioned period cottage and adds considerably to the practicality of the home. The rear setting is enclosed by a mixture of brick walling and neighbouring buildings, creating a private and sheltered feel.
